10.) Fishermen have been studying how the number of dead sea turtles in the local bay is related to the pollution index of the b

ay. The number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118. Which value represents the slope and what does it mean in the context of the scenario?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = m*x + b   or  y=m*x + b

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.

The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis.  According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.

You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118.   Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.

HELP PLEASE!!
shutvik [7]

Answer:

6.5 x 10^6 To answer this question, you need to divide the mass of the sun by the mass of mercury. So 2.13525 x 10^30 / 3.285 x 10^23 = ? To do the division, divide the mantissas in the normal fashion 2.13525 / 3.285 = 0.65 And subtract the exponents. 30 - 23 = 7 So you get 0.65 x 10^7 Unless the mantissa is zero, the mantissa must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than 10. So multiply the mantissa by 10 and then subtract 1 from the exponent, giving 6.5 x 10^6 So the sun is 6.5 x 10^6 times as massive as mercury.

Safia opens a new savings account with a 2.25% simple interest rate. She deposits $3,500 and earned $3,696.88 total (with intere
Art [367]

Answer:

The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88

P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question

R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question

T is the time which we are to find

we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;

T = 100I/PR

substituting the values listed above we have;

T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)

T = 19688/7875

T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months

PLEASE HELP WITH MATH.BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST. You have to find the volume of the figure below.
castortr0y [4]
Volume = width × height × length. First let's concentrate on the rectangular prism. This has 4 for its height and 5 for its width so you do 4 × 5 (=20) × 10 (because the length of the rectangular prism is the same as the triangular prism, so we will use the length of the triangular one) = 200m³ for the rectangular one. To work out the triangular one, it's the same, but whatever answer you get you divide it by 2 because a triangle is just a rectangle cut in half diagonally. Therefore, 3 × 5 (=15) × 10 = 150. Then divided by 2 = 75m³. Total volume = volume of rectangular prism + triangular prism Therefore total volume = 200 + 75 = 275m³.
